Return-to-office mandates are often seen as essential to restore corporate culture; however, they can backfire if imposed from the top down. Presented in a video by MIT Sloan Management Review, Brian Elliott discusses four companies that have adopted innovative strategies for in-person gatherings that prove effective. For instance, Zillow has organized numerous onsite, team-centered meetings to facilitate collaboration, and Airbnb has centered its interactions around significant product milestones.
Furthermore, Allstate has successfully fostered connections among employees in areas lacking a central office, while Dolby has redesigned its physical space to promote collaboration. Leaders are urged to design engaging and meaningful experiences for their teams, as excessive control over return policies may push employees towards more flexible employers, whereas minimal emphasis on in-person interaction may lead to isolation within the organization. Adopting strategies that have worked for other companies can help create impactful moments in one’s workplace.
